Guest Bedroom~Recent Finds

HELLO FELLOW BLOGGERS....I KNOW IT HAS BEEN QUITE SOME TIME SINCE I LAST POSTED HERE ON BLOGGER. I HAVE BEEN MUCH MORE TIME ON PINTEREST LATELY. AS REQUESTED BY SOME FRIENDS, OLD AND NEW, THAT I SHOULD POST MORE OFTEN. THANK YOU FOR THOSE OF YOU HAVE SENT SWEET COMMENTS. WHICH ARE ALWAYS WELCOMED. TODAY, I THOUGHT I WOULD SHOW YOU THE GUEST BEDROOM AND SOME RECENT FINDS. ABOVE IS JUST SOME OF MY FAVORITE ANTIQUE VICTORIAN SILVER PIECES AND ANTIQUE MIRRORS....

DON'T YOU JUST LOVE COLLECTING VINTAGE DRESS FORMS! I HAVE SOLD QUITE A FEW IN THE PAST FEW YEARS. THIS ONE PICTURED ABOVE I FOUND JUST LAST WEEK! SHE IS A PETITE SIZE BAUMAN ON A CAST IRON STAND. SHE IS NOW MY SECOND FAVORITE OF MY DRESS FORMS.... KEEPING HER SIMPLE WITH A SWEET CROWN, AND LOVELY VINTAGE PEARLS.

TO THE FAR LEFT YOU WILL SEE AN ANTIQUE UNDERWOOD TYPEWRITER, JUST FOUND IT LAST WEEKEND TOO. I WOULD LOVE TO FIND ANOTHER PLACE FOR IT, BUT THIS IS WHERE IT WILL SIT FOR NOW. IT IS SUPER HEAVY!

ONE OF MY FAVORITE THINGS TO COLLECT IS ANTIQUE SUITCASES! THE MORE THE MERRIER! THIS IS JUST ONE STACK THAT I HAVE DISPLAYED. I PARTICULARLY LIKE THEM DISPLAYED ON TOP OF CUPBOARDS, JUST TWO OR THREE MAKES A SIMPLE BUT STATELY IMPACT.

ANOTHER RECENT FIND IS THIS WONDERFUL OLD FRAME, PERFECT FOR ONE OF MY FAVORITE ANTIQUE PRINTS. I LOVE HOW IT LOOKS WITH THE OLD SUITCASES. I WILL LEAVE YOU WITH THE PICTURES BELOW. I SURELY HOPE YOU WILL ENJOY THE PHOTOS, AND BE SOMEWHAT INSPIRED, AND ENJOY BEING CREATIVE IN EVERYTHING YOU DO. HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY!

About Me

I have been with my hubby for 26 years. I have two wonderful, beautiful daughters. I am a new grandma to the most adorable little boy! I am a stay at home mom who loves the thrill of the hunt for vintage junk. We have been collecting antiques/vintage treasures for over 20 years. We had our own antique store for about two years! It was fun there for awhile, but I like to be out on the junkin' trail. I would much rather sell at the antique shows. I just may open another shop in the near future.
